Harrington, Fred
BISHOP-HARRINGTON NUPTIALS LAST WEEK
Plano Star Courier, October 17, 1919
The First Christian church of Plano was packed to the utmost capacity Wednesday evening with friends who had assembled to witness the marriage of Miss Gladys Bishop to Mr. Fred Harrington Jr., both of this city. The church auditorium, which lends itself beautifully to such occasions was most artistically decorated with beautiful ferns, southern smilax and pink carnations. Prior to the entrance of the bridal party Mrs. Grant Thompson sang, "Because," in her most charming manner.
Immediately after the song Miss Maud Davis played a wedding march for the processional and during the ceremony she played softly "Hearts and Flowers." As the first notes of the processional sounded the ushers, Misses Minnie Mae Wall, Emma Ruth Aldridge, Margaret Harrington and Christine Crosier came quietly down the aisle bearing shepherd's crooks tagged with bouquets of ferns and roses. Miss Wall and Miss Aldridge forming a gateway to the east aisle and Miss Harrington and Miss Crosier to the west side. Two were gowned in Nile green tulle over taffeta and two in pink of the same.
The bridesmaids, Misses Helen Davis, Florrie Bowman and Mary Ray, wore gowns of pink tulle over taffeta, carrying arm bouquets of pink roses.
After these came the matrons of honor, Mrs. S. L. Harrington Jr. and Mrs. J. W. Shepard Jr. Mrs. Harrington was gowned in pink taffeta and silver lace trimmings and Mrs. Shepard in Nile green with silver lace both carrying arm bouquets of roses.
The bride was preceded by four little flower girls, Misses Sallie C. Harrington, Louise Aldridge, Irene Haggard and Pearl Astor Shelton, carrying bouquets of rose petals, two of these being dressed in Nile green tulle over taffeta and two in pink.
Following these came little Miss Mary Louise White clad in white tulle with silver spangles, holding in her hands the lily in whose petals the mystic ring reposed.
The bride came in on the arm of her sister, Miss Elizabeth Bishop, the maid of honor who was beautifully gowned in a Nile green frock of chiffon trimmed in gold lace and jewels. The bride wore a Geddie creation of silk tulle embroidered in silver-hung over duchess satin. Her veil entrain was caught with wreaths of orange blossoms, her jewels being pearls and diamonds. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley.
The groom was attended by his cousin, Mr. Joe Webb, as best man and Messrs. Connor Bishop, Walter Dewey Haggard and Silas Harrington Jr., all wearing the conventional black.
The bride and groom met at the entrance to the altar and as they stood under an arch, beautifully draped in smilax, Rev. Glover, in his most wonderful manner, pronounced them man and wife.
The bridal party and a few friends and relatives at once repaired to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Nannie Bishop, where congratulations were received and refreshments of Neapolitan cream and angel food cake were served. The bride cut the wedding cake and that was placed on the cut glass stand that held her mother's wedding cake. The bride wore a going away suit of blue tricotine with accessories to match and as they left by motor for Dallas to take the train for Southern points they were the recipients of many good wishes and showers of rice.
The bride is one of the most charming young ladies of this city, graduating in high school the past June. She was much loved and praised by friends and teachers, this added to her industrious turn of mind, many graces and charming personalities and coming as she does from one of the oldest and most honored families of Collin County her grand-parents being Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Haggard. The groom also was born and reared in this county being a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Harrington and is a young man of sterling worth and esteemed by all who know him, so we speak for them a merry, happy and prosperous voyage through life.
A Guest.
